Manchester…….. Manchester proved that they are much more than bigman Tyquese Franklin tonight in their 71-51 win against Leonia! The Falcons had great guard play from Seniors Amani Dyer#12, Zhimir Butler#10, Tuhray Smith#3 and Sophomore Jetor Brown#11! Leonia had no answer for the quartet as they took turns having spurts in the game in an unselfish manner! They combined for 56 points, 24 rebounds, 18 assists and knocked down 11 “triples”! Butler  and Smith led them with 16 points apiece, while Brown had 7 assists to go with his 10 points and Dyer had 6 assists to go with his 14 points! Franklin only had 6 points tonight, but still managed 8 rebounds and a couple of blocked shots even though he spent most of the night in foul trouble! Manchester, ranked # 12 in the Hoop Journal preseason top 20 created a lot of turnovers as Butler had 5 steals, Brown 4 steals and Smith and Dyer had 2 apiece! Leonia wasn’t a true measuring stick, but Manchester actually looks like it will be a tough opponent night in and night out and if they shoot the ball like tonight can pull off a few shocking wins this year! Junior Wilfredo Munoz was impressive for Leonia with 16 points and 6 rebounds, while 6’8 Senior Chris Chuchill added 13 and 8 rebounds!
